Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 7,00,000


Solution : Let the cost price of the car for Aman be Rs. $x$.
The selling price for Aman = the cost price for Anuj = $x×\frac{100-10}{100}=\frac{9x}{10}$
Now, the selling price for anuj = $\frac{9x}{10}×\frac{100-12}{100}=\frac{792x}{1000}$
According to the question,
$\frac{792x}{1000}= 554400$
